2011-12 NFL Season

[Jimbo]

LOL with so many good teams having a bye, this may be the single worst lineup of weekend games in NFL history!


Sandra

I expect Detroit and Atlanta to be a very good game.

Yeah, raiders on their second extension to try and keep their longest sellout streak (3) since 2008 going. New QB starting against a rival not enough to bring fans to the stadium... Al Davis can't die every week.

Edit: After an extension of the 72 hour deadline, the game is finally sold out, will not be blacked out

The NFL extending the 72 hour rule is COMMON PLACE, it happens quite often when theres a possibility of a sell out.

Why do you think the steelers passed on him, hell he would of been great replacing Bradshaw.

yeah.and the steelers ownership always regretted not drafting Danny.

Yeah with the steelers defense and a running game better than the dolphins were he could of won some superbowls

The point being the Raiders shouldn't have needed it. Team is winning, news of Palmer likely starting at one point earlier in the week, a rivalry game they're favored to win, Al Davis passing bringing a lot more attention to the positive things happening with the franchise... etc.

I'm guessing they have Sold Out the first 6 games ?

 

[Ramy]

Fair question. What is the Raider thread for? That certianly seems to me like the kind of post that would belong in a Raider'specific thread...since one does exist here.


Sandra

Why are you all complaining about this? It is an NFL thread. PERIOD

 

[meStevo]

The Raider thread is just to chronicle the 3-5 contributions per year Hugo gives this forum. Many of which are identical.

 

[mdonnelly]

LMAO!! Not this year or last year....Hey wait, didn't they beat your Doltz TWICE?

Yeah, that kind of makes up for the 16 in a row that they lost.

Boomer Esiason just said that the Broncos should be playing today with Jay Cutler,Brandon Marshall,Brandon Lloyd,& Peyton Hillis on their roster instead of who they have now.

For a "sold out" stadium, SunLife in Miami sure has a lot of empty seats. Don't the Dolphins give those tickets they had to buy away to charity(Boys Club,etc.)??

 

[The Insider]

Yes, but its hard to even find people who want to go to one of those games for free.

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

Suck for Luck Bowl is living up to its name,with emphasis on "Suck."

The Broncos really need to get some people who can catch a football.. I mean how NFL receivers drop balls after they hit BOTH hands.

They also need a new kicker.. 2 missed field goals, all under 45yards.

Denver has only thrown it 5 times and only has 2 incompletions...

Yep...what an offensive they would have had!

Tough to see a team that has nothing to offer...Reminds me of those 2-14 Raiders teams of a few years back. This team has a really good chance to not win a single game. How sad....

Well I missed the first qtr, only going by what ive seen and so far it was 2 dropped passes that were on the money in the only place they could be thrown.

Dan Marino was right on the money about the Broncos-Dolphins game when he said,"This game is boring."
